2 DAY CONFERENCE: Thursday 25 and Friday 26 October
The SIBMAS conference will provide a mix of presentations from invited speakers and papers proposed by colleagues working actively within performing arts collections. See a showcase of innovative ideas, from the economical and low-tech, to the latest in applied technology.

Performing arts collections exist within a fast-changing environment. Shifts in the world economy mean that collections managers have to be ever more resourceful in their problem-solving; at the same time, constant technological advances provide us with the potential to manage collections and meet public expectations in new ways. What innovations will give them a competitive edge against other visitor attractions, allow them to work more efficiently, and help them reach new audiences, capture live performance, and manage born-digital collections?
